Where are they? I can't find my NPCs.

[Goliath63]

I need some help.  I have made a mod that spawns a five man Enclave patrol outside of Megaton but I cannot see them.  I have tried waiting for three days to let the cells reset but to no avail. What am I doing wrong?  I had this problem in FONV too. My custom NPCs would not show up in the game.  I really need to find out how to rectify this problem. Thanks for all of the help so far. 

Happy gaming.

p.s. Is it better to use leveled NPCs or standard NPCs?  My guy is Lvl 35 now with UBER gear.

You have done the following right?

 

- Added them to the game world?

- Enabled the plugin?

- Checked to make sure there are no AI packages which make them change location at certain times in the day?

- Haven't been killed by someone or something?

Yes, Yes, No, ????.. If they had been killed, would they not be dead outside Megaton?  The AI package thing is helpful though. Thanks.  I am not a newb. I have been playing Beth games since 2001.  As mentioned, I had trouble getting the CUSTOM NPCs into my game in FONV.  They had follower packages and STILL did not show up in the game.  Some would show up while others were not around. I had to PRID them to find where they were.That is my point.  They would show up in certain cells only.   If I put an NPC in the Megaton house, it is fine but outside is a different story.  I was hoping to have a recurring firefight with the Enclave outside Megaton.

Pack it all into a rar and send me a PM with the files attached, if you want.

 

I'll take a look and see what is up with it,

 

They may only activate a certain time in the storylne.
